This is where the need for some form of regulation comes in.
Now, I don't agree that the Current method and council system is correct, but I balance this with acknowledging that perfect free market economy is not a viable option because of the lack of perfect information.
Bullshit. A monopoly isn't just an abomination against free market fetishists, (although in passing I gota ask: who's fucking money is it?) it's a guarantee of rampant graft, with prices utterly divorced from both the cost to supply and any rational explanation whatsoever. Look around, the shysters you imagine might replace them couldn't possibly do as much economic damage.
By all means dictate standards discouraging fuckwits from connecting sewerage to stormwater systems, the cost of that should probably be about $100 per dwelling, most of the actual services required are built by the developer.
There's a new subdivision up the road, couple of dozen lots. The sections were "developed" by the simple expediency of extending a road a few yards, (literally), sticking a few pegs in describing where you were allowed to build your pre-ordered spec' house, (no, sir may not use anyone else to either design or build his house, nor could sir negotiate the price) and bunging in a driveway crossing. All of the infrastructure was existing, had been for decades. The price? $450k minimum.
Big black dog up the fuckers, you want an explanation for massively over priced housing then lay it at your local council's feet.
Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon
